September 11, 200322 yr Hi all,I'm about to produce the printouts for the FSBUS PCBs but I have encountered a problem that I haven't managed to solve yet.When a Gerber file is loaded into GerbView there are no drill holes shown. There are some (Echellon?) drill files in the FSBUS site, but when I load them into GerbView along with the respective PCB they don't match. Like the drill being the wrong scale.Any ideas ?Thanks!George DorkofikisAthens, Greece
September 11, 200322 yr Disregard...GerbView may be nice but will not print any holes, even with the DRL files loaded, which by the way are mirrored...I found another solution to print the FSBUS PCBs Postscript files on the same sheet via Photoshop.Sorry to bother you... ;-)George DorkofikisAthens, Greece
September 11, 200322 yr Hi, Another solution to printout de PCBS is to translate de .ps files (post script files) to .pdf files. You can do it easily online by the web: www.ps2pdf.com/convert/convert.htmThis page create a file .pdf ready to print with a very good precision, and with all the drill holes.Oscar LilloBCN-Spain
September 12, 200322 yr Oscar, Thank you very much for the Info.I found that working with PhotoShop gave me the best results so far.I can print multiple PCBs on the same page (for Press-n-peel) with their holes and everything and in very high detail. Currently I'm working on 600dpi and forcing PhotoShop to print them all on the same page gave me very nice and clean output.I will post a tutorial soon how to do it for other that might find it interesting.Muchas gracias,Hasta luegoGeorge DorkofikisAthens, Greece
